Paper Accepted to CHI 2018

December 2017

Our survey paper on "Evaluation Strategies for HCI Toolkit Research" in which we survey evaluation strategies in 68 published toolkit papers has been accepted to CHI 2018. We hope this can be a starting point for students starting out in technical HCI work and helps address the difficulty of evaluating HCI toolkit research by distilling common evaluation strategies.
